I did some calculations and my predicted US release date for PS4 is November 12th, 2013 (self.PS3)

I inputted the US release dates for the other consoles in excel:
September 9, 1995
October 26, 2000
November 17, 2006
And I created a chart (scatter), right clicked on the data points, and created a trendline (polynomial) This allowed me to create an equation that matches the release dates of all previous consoles, which I then used as a basis for predicting the PS4 release date. The equation was:
169.5x2 + 1365.5x + 33416
where x is the Playstation x (1/2/3/4)
When you plug in the number 4 for x, the result is 41590, which when formatted as a date in Excel, comes out to:
November 12, 2013.
What do you think?
By the way, this would also predict PS5 on October 12, 2021
